Snack giant Frito-Lay has launched its first 100% all-electric truck fleet at one of its North Carolina distribution sites.
Frito-Lay’s electric truck fleet is based out of the snack giant’s South Charlotte Product Exchange Center (PEC). It consists of 28 Ford E-Transits and a “wide array of charging solutions.” It’s working with Atom Power on that front and with Duke Energy for power.
Ryan Kennedy, the CEO of Atom Power, said, “It was exactly what they needed for this depot, which was highly reliable charging infrastructure, large-scale energy management, and that’s what we do fundamentally as a company.”
